Build a 3-node Kubernetes cluster home lab in minutes: The movie.

I use the lightweight Kubernetes K3s on a 3-node Raspberry Pi 4 cluster.

And created a few ansible to provision the virtual machines with cloud image with cloud-init and deploy k3s on it.

I updated the roles below to be compatible with the latest Debian release: Debian 12 bookworm.

I created a movie to demonstrate how you can setup a kubernetes homelab in few minutes.

The latest version 1.1.0 is available at: https://github.com/stafwag/ansible-k3s-on-vms

Have fun!
